NANTICOKE, N.Y. | State police say two men are dead and a woman is in a hospital after two vehicles collided on an upstate New York road.

Troopers say 35-year-old Bhrett Berg of Johnson City was driving on Route 26 in Broome County around 4:30 p.m. Tuesday when he left his lane on a curve and collided head-on with a vehicle driven by 49-year-old Michael Smith of Homer in Cortland County.

Police say Berg and Smith were pronounced dead at the scene. A passenger in Smith's car, 50-year-old Gail Renninger-Smith of Homer, was injured and taken to a Binghamton-area hospital. Information on her injuries and condition hasn't been released.

Troopers say the investigation is continuing.

The crash occurred in the rural town of Nanticoke, 10 miles north of Binghamton.
